Information and Communication System on Market Surveillance (ICSMS)

Information and Communication System on Market Surveillance (ICSMS)

The Information and Communication System on Market Surveillance (ICSMS) is an IT platform to facilitate communication between market surveillance bodies in the EU and in EFTA countries. It quickly and efficiently shares information on non-compliant products, avoids the duplication of work, and speeds up the removal of unsafe products from the market.

Division of ICSMS

the internal area is designed for market surveillance, customs, and EU authorities. It contains available information on products marketed in the EU. Confidential data are protected by access authorisations;

the public area is devoted to consumers, users, and manufacturers. The information visible to the public provides only reference to the product and its non-compliance, and not any internal documents (i.e. information exchange between the authority and the importer/manufacturer).
